As I recall the ... House is the ONLY part of government that has proposed and passed a budget

Because generally, it is the only one authorized to.

(Of course, the Senate can propose amendments to those bills.)

*cough*

You'll have that looked at, right?

a) did not disclose fully the extent of his patent dealings, referenced one more recent issue but failed to disclose the more serious prior issues

Which he was not required to, since it was more than 10 years prior, as per the (claimed) court instructions.

b) provided false, misleading evidence contrary to judges instructions to manipulate the jury

Something like this is the one that the appeal will most likely rest upon.

c) had prior conflict with subsidiary of Samsung

Which Samsung's lawyer's didn't enquire after?

A few possibilities:
1. It is possible that another app is using the PDFReader's secret key, etc. It would still have to have given permission to the app.
2. Someone else installed it on your iPad using their own App Store credentials, gave permission, then uninstalled the app.
3. Dropbox has some other API issue that allows files to be uploaded somehow...
4. Any combination of the above.

I guess you'll see if the mystery uploads cease when you revoke the Dropbox access PDFReader has.

So some iOS app is interacting with the Dropbox app in some way (either via API or just throwing files into a folder that Dropbox must have all permissions open on).

Most likely they're using Dropbox's iOS SDK. That would have required you to give permission however.

Check Dropbox's My Apps to see if any 3rd party apps have access.

Or just use xe.com. I have transferred money multiple times and never had an issue. You know exactly how much you'll pay and how much they'll get. Send it to the (US) recipient via ACH and they won't pay anything to get the money.

Easy! There are 3 major groups of investors in the Facebook IPO fiasco.

You missed a group:

4) The institutional investors that are cozy with with investment bankers and get to buy-in at the IPO price. They are the ones that really want the first-day "pop", because it means they can off-load (some) at an easy 10-20% profit. Both of those groups like this racket, because for the next IPO, the institutional investors will come back, and the investment bankers will get more IPO fees because they can ensure a sold-out IPO to the next victim/company.

The SCOTUS labeled it a tax after the fact. Obama did not lie. It was reclassified by others.

We call them the government's lawyers:

"THE MINIMUM COVERAGE PROVISION IS INDEPENDENTLY AUTHORIZED BY CONGRESS’S TAXING POWER.”

By far the best simulator (with details) local to your own timezone, is the one by SunAeon.

And here I was thinking it was because he was some kind of Borg creature. My mistake.

Certainly not predestined, but economic forces at some point would have demanded interoperability. Whether that meant a true "network of networks" (as you say, and as the internet was defined as), at some point a common-denominator protocol,service,etc would be required. The rise of cheaper and faster electronics (and therefore communications) would make any other scenario unlikely (barring dumb government regulation or something).
It may not have looked been TCP/IP, but it would be an Internet Protocol nonetheless.

Why not just make all spectrum public?

How do you propose to regulate it then so that everyone's phone works whenever they're in range of a cell tower? Otherwise, you haven't offered anything better than what we have now.

Indeed, Eye of the Tiger is available for public performance with ASCAP.
